I didn't grow up with raspberries. We don't have raspberry bushes in Miami, we have things like mangoes, oranges, grapefruits, bananas, stuff like that. So it's not something that I look for when I go food shopping every week. But it's berry season now, so you can get them for pretty cheap. Last week they were $1 a box at Fry's, so I bought a few boxes of raspberries. And guess what! They're really good! They're sweet and juicy! I made some smoothies and ate some of them, then after a few days I decided to try some raspberries in my salad. Oh wow, that was SO GOOD!!! I just added them to the everyday salad that we eat here, and it was really special.
SALAD WITH RASPBERRIES
Salad - spring mix, spinach, baby lettuce, or a combination thereof, chopped slightly
Pepper jack cheese - shredded
Raspberries - about a handful per person (around 10 fat juicy berries)
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt and Pepper
Chop your salad greens up a little so they're not big pieces. Put them in your salad bowl, or in individual salad bowls or plates. Now place the raspberries on top of the salad greens. Cover them with a layer of shredded pepper jack cheese. Pour olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Voila! You'll really like this tasty salad. The raspberries are like delicious little surprises!
